Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 3-pound chuck roast
- 1 1-ounce packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 1-ounce packet au jus gravy mix
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
Slider Assembly
- 12 count Hawaiian rolls
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers for topping
Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Add the chuck roast, ranch dressing mix packet, au jus gravy mix packet, 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers, and 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice to your slow cooker. This mixture will infuse the meat with savory and tangy flavors while cooking.
- Cook the Roast: Set the slow cooker to cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. This slow cooking method breaks down the chuck roast to be tender and easy to shred.
- Shred the Meat: Once fully cooked, remove the roast and shred it with forks. Discard any visible fat to keep the sliders tasty but not greasy.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Assemble Sliders Bottom: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a single layer in the baking dish.
- Add Cheese Layer: Place six slices of provolone cheese evenly across the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Add Shredded Beef: Spread all the shredded pot roast evenly over the cheese.
- Top with More Cheese and Peppers: Layer the remaining provolone slices on top of the beef and sprinkle the 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers over the cheese.
- Place Top Rolls: Cover the layered ingredients with the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls.
- Make Butter Mixture: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and stir in garlic salt and finely chopped parsley for added flavor and a golden finish.
- Brush Rolls: Generously brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter, garlic salt, and parsley mixture.
- Bake Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted, making the sliders warm and gooey.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately to enjoy the juicy, cheesy sliders at their best.
Notes
- Use Hawaiian rolls for their soft texture and subtle sweetness, balancing the tanginess of the pepperoncini.
- Adjust pepperoncini quantity to control the heat and tang level according to your preference.
- Leftover shredded beef can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra parsley on top before serving.
- If you prefer spicier sliders, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the beef mixture before assembling.
